In the University of the Philippines-Diliman, art can be found anywhere. We have a museum, yeah, but that does not stop anyone from having an exhibit just right outside the building. By placing art outside, it can get more attention from people who wouldn't usually bother going inside the museum.

With my parents dragging me to this beach my whole life, I should be tired of the scenery by now. But every time I visit Laiya, I still look forward to swimming in the clear sea water and waiting for the sun rise early in the morning.

One course I looked forward to in our program is field work, in which the students go to a certain place and study the languages in the area. This summer, our group was assigned to Maasin City, Southern Leyte. I honestly never heard of the place before so I had no idea what to expect.
